The weekend has arrived, various plans have been prepared with friends. For those of you who are still confused about where to go on your holiday, there’s nothing wrong with exploring the underwater beauty of Batam City in the form of a scorpion (when viewed from the air), namely on Abang Island.
The island, which is located south of Batam Island, Riau Islands Province, has an underwater beauty that is not inferior to some marine tourism in Indonesia. Besides being cheap, getting to this location is not difficult.
To get there, you just need to use a land vehicle to Hasyim Harbor which is located on Galang Baru Island. Vehicles will cross Jalan Raya Barelang, a road that connects seven islands, namely Batam Island – Watch Island – Setokok Island – Rempang Island – Galang Island – New Galang Island.
From Hasyim Harbor, you can take a motorboat or fast boat to Abang Island. The total travel time from Batam to Pulau Abang is approximately 2 hours.
For those of you who are lazy to bring a vehicle, don’t worry. Because there are a number of travel tours that provide transportation and convenience for you to get there, and of course it is adjusted to the price of the package. Only IDR 350 thousand is all. Land transportation (PP), boats, snorkeling equipment to lunch.
As soon as we arrived at the location there were several groups of tourists who were both going to travel to Abang Island. On arrival at Abang Island, we were taken to a rest house, aka rest houses located near the pier. There are about 4 houses that are used as a place to rest.
Maritime lovers must come here.
